I am using a clothing allowance per pound lost as my reward and I only wish I had lost enough to have a need rather than a desire to buy new clothes. Of course I did keep a lot of the old ones so there has been a little bit of fun in shopping in my own closet. Sorry, I know this is not the help you wanted, but I thought…

I am really trying to change my focus from unhealthy food as a reward - since that is how I got to an overweight BMI in the first place. Sure, indulging occasionally is ok - but try to keep it at least somewhere near your goals. I mean, how can sabatoging yourself be a reward? Likewise we are trying to change family…

I thought aglaea was a muse not a goddess - but that is perhaps as appropriate

If it had been 1000 calories then I would say you needed to adjust your next few days. But it was only 100 and you aren't even counting your exercise so you were not really over at all - move on

you may have an extra rib at the top that compresses nerves and blood flow when you have your arms raised for a long time - or you could have another area that is compressing a nerve from that position. It is not usually dangerous though. Be careful if you have this problem while lifting - you do not want to accidently…

You don't need to ditch "a" cheat" meal - but you should definitely log it and probably quit that one. Margarita's usually have about 400 cal each. Chips are very high in calories and then add fried food and lots of cheese. You are probably getting well over 2000 calories in that meal. So you can still cheat and allow…

Please check with your doctor - how much weight you need to gain in part depends on how overweight (if any) you were to start. But the last trimester you will generally gain close to 1 pound per week regardless. Most of the adjustments are for the earlier trimesters as noted above.

From your post, I am guessing you have not been at this very long. If the 6# weight loss was your first week - a lot of that was water weight. By the second week, you were likely retaining water - muscles are starting to repair (takes water to do), bowels likely a little full due to decrease in fiber that often goes along…

I am 46, only trying to lose 20# right now (probably need to do more - but this is my goal for the next 6 months and then maintain). I am only trying to take off 1 pound per week - so I guess this is moderate calorie intake and while I do usually come in below the MFP carb macro's and higher on the protein and fat :( - I…

The grade would be the incline - adjusting your treadmill so you are running slightly uphill.

You are so young to have these issues - but that means that if you can make the needed changes now - it will be so much better for you in the long run. I obviously do not know you - but based on your age and post, I think you need to work on the your thoughts about food, exercise and your health. You deserve to be healthy…

Increase the grade on your treadmill to about 2%. When you run on a treadmill - you just have to lift your legs and the ground moves for you. When you are outside - you must push your body with your muscles. Some people say that using a grade helps recreate that muscle involvement. On the other hand the previous post -…

I am willing to give it a try. I find it very difficult to find time to exercise more than 3 days a week - which will make it about an hour each time - or I will need to find time on other days. This should be a good goal for me. I am struggling with plantar fasciitis but I am willing to give it a go. - Week # 1 – February…

Thanks I am looking forward to seeing if this helps.

There is no way you gained 4 pounds of fat in a week with that routine. Likewise you may not have truly lost 4# of fat the week before - much of it was likely water weight. Just keep doing what you know is right, it will eventually even out. Also keep track of your weight every month in the day or so after your menses…

Of course I am very happy for my husband to notice - but after all the wonderful years we have had with me at so many different weights, I am not sure that it means that much to him. Which is both good and bad. . . mostly good. I almost wonder if I am not the most pleased to share this with my closet. My closet that has…

Just turned 46. Goal would be to take off 25# this year - but after just a few runs, I have developed some significant plantar fascitis - possibly something worse. I guess at this age, I am going to have to pay more attention to avoiding injury.

I am new and while I really should lose 40#, I am setting a goal this year for 25# - about 1/2 pound a week seems sustainable and not so strict that I give it all up. I have a hard time making myself log my food choices on MFP and having others doing it would be helpful. Please add me.
